Chapter 986: Tang Yi's Judgment (Asking for Votes)
There was a secret letter from Hong Chaoxuan before, and then there was a blood letter from Dong Wenhuan, all pointing to Zhang Juzheng, saying that he had unshirkable responsibility for the rebellion of the King of Liao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One is the governor of Huguang, the other is a political envoy, and both of them are red-robed officials, and their weight is unusual.
It stands to reason that Tang Yi is not so gullible, but he knows the old grudge between Zhang Juzheng and the King of Liao, and he also knows that Zhang Juzheng is a person, that guy has a black hand, and he is even more ruthless and decisive than himself, and he will not put it in his eyes at all. And don't forget, Tang Yi can find a way to force King Yi to rebel, and Zhang Juzheng may not dare to attack King Liao.
You must know that at this time, Zhang Juzheng was shouldering the heavy responsibility of clearing the acres of land, and Xu Jie's side of the gentry was killed, if he won another Liao king, the situation in the entire southeast would be much better.
In both public and private, Zhang Juzheng has enough motivation.
It's just that King Yi rebelled first, and then King Liao rebelled again, and the movement was too big, and if one was not handled well, the cabinet would be blamed...... Tang Yi was shocked, could it be that Zhang Juzheng had a third purpose, he wanted to attack himself?
Thinking of this, Tang Yi's heart shrank suddenly.
Between him and Zhang Juzheng, it seems that he is in his heart, but in fact it is only for the new coup law, and it is necessary to form an alliance and cooperate, a pure combination of interests. It's really hard to say whether Zhang Juzheng has the idea of overthrowing himself and replacing him...... Looking back at the news of Hong Chaoxuan and Dong Wenyu, the balance in Tang Yi's heart continued to tilt.
"Gao Ge Lao, Zhao Ge Lao, Chen Ge Lao, what do you think?"
Zhao Zhenji's face was gloomy, and he said loudly: "I thought that Dong Wenyu was known for his reputation and was a very well-behaved courtier. Moreover, the king of Liao hastily raised troops to rebel, and even Jiangling was not controlled, and as soon as the army arrived, it collapsed, which was obviously not a deliberate plan, so it seems that someone played a dishonorable role in it, and it is understandable. ”
Zhao Zhenji and Zhang Juzheng have never been on good terms, Xu Jie's case Zhang Juzheng Yang disobeyed, and went to comfort Xu Jie, but in fact, the Xu family was extremely miserable, moved from Songjiang to Jiangxi, and left his hometown, how ruthless! Lao Zhao is angry with Zhang Juzheng, but he is not talking nonsense, Dong Wenhuan is very well-behaved, and the unruly person is Zhang Juzheng.
The court has always been like this in lawsuits, because there is no way to communicate in time, and it is impossible to grasp the latest situation, and the result is that everyone has good conduct, and whoever has a high evaluation has an advantage. Obviously, Zhang Ju is on the scales and does not have any advantage.
Gao Gong had a calm face and thought about it again and again, "Zhang Taiyue, as a member of the Cabinet University, is in charge of Southeast affairs, and his position is high and powerful, which is extraordinary. You can't dispose of it at will because of Dong Wenhuan's bullet stamp, I thought that I should send an urgent delivery immediately and let Zhang Juzheng explain clearly. ”
"Elder Gao Ge, do you think Zhang Zi can explain clearly?" Zhao Zhenji sneered.
Gao Gong was not to be outdone, "Elder Zhao Ge, it's about the face of the cabinet, we can't be rash." ”
Zhao Zhenji widened his eyes and was about to refute.
Tang Yi waved his hand, "The two pavilion elders are a little restless, I think it will be according to the meaning of the Central Xuangong......"
Before Tang Yi could finish speaking, suddenly the copper bell on the wall rang urgently.
According to the rules formulated by Tang Yi, the cabinet is an important place for military aircraft, and each cabinet elder is on duty, except for a few henchmen in the middle school, others are not allowed to move around casually.
As for the meeting of the elders, only the officials who have a full-time record can participate, and in case of emergency, they can ring the brass bell outside, only three times, and the senior bachelor who is presiding over the meeting decides whether to terminate the meeting and deal with the emergency.
Tang Yi frowned deeply, and said in a muffled voice: "Come in!" ”
The door opened, and Luo Wanhua hurriedly ran in, his head covered with sweat.
"Zhang Ge's excerpt has arrived."
"Bring it quickly."
Several cabinet elders got together and took a quick look, Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, he just mentioned that the governor Hong Chaoxuan may be implicated in the rebellion of the King of Liao, and has now imprisoned Hong Chaoxuan, and asked the court to immediately issue an order to strictly investigate Hong Chaoxuan's case.
"Sure enough!"
Zhao Zhenji slapped the table, "Yuan Fu, Gao Ge Lao, what else to say this time, Zhang Juzheng admitted that Dong Wenhuan's performance was true, and he really imprisoned Hong Chaoxuan!" ”
The old master's beard trembled, and he was furious, "Yuanfu, the old man said at the beginning that Zhang Juzheng is a cadre, but this person is not right, and he does things by unscrupulous means, he took revenge and forced the king of a town to rebel." There are upright ministers, dissatisfied with his actions, so they imprison and dismiss officials, and frame Zhongliang. How can such a villain tolerate him, I propose to immediately send someone south to escort Zhang Juzheng back to Beijing, and wait for his fate. Zhao Zhenji paused, and then said: "The old man is not talented, he volunteered, and asked the first assistant for permission." ”
Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng's recital, and was also dumbfounded, it was a coincidence or not, Dong Wenhuan's words made people can't believe it. It is true that the imperial court wants to deal with the vassal king, but it can't be too ugly, force the vassal king to rebel, and then kill the people. Will there be a day of peace for the clans of the world? What about the emperor?
Zhang Taiyue, Zhang Taiyue, you are too aggressive.
"Yuanfu, Zhao Ge is in charge of the supervision of Kedao, and his official duties are heavy, so it is inconvenient to leave Beijing, and the old man proposes to let Liu Tiqian, the imperial historian of the right capital, go to announce the decree."
Liu Tiqian is a high-arched person, and obviously the tall beard still wants to help Zhang Juzheng.
It's just that Zhao Zhenji didn't think so, "Gao Ge Lao, Zhang Juzheng is a scholar of the dynasty, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and a mere right capital imperial history, how can Zhang Juzheng bow his head, if you don't let the old man go, it is better to ask Chen Ge Lao to run." ”
The ball was mentioned on Chen Yiqin, he is so bad, who am I messing with, I want to take this potato!
"Well, if Motosuke agrees, then I'll go." Chen Yiqin did not dare to refuse.
Now the eyes of the big guys are on Tang Yi's body, just waiting for him to make a decision,
At this moment, another Zhongshu scholar, Shen Yicheng, also ran in, holding several books in his arms, all of which impeached Zhang Juzheng.
Among them, there are Huguang according to the inspector Pang Shangpeng, Huguang patrol according to He Kuan, and even one can not think of a person, it turned out to be a very close relationship with Zhang Juzheng Geng Xiang, he exposed Jiangling Zhangjia and Liaowangfu because of the problem of Huguang salt sales, there was a conflict, Zhang Juzheng through the respect of the elder, suppressed the Liaowangfu, forced the Liao King to give up salt sales, Zhangjia occupied seventy percent of Huguang salt sales, a few years, accumulated a huge million, rich rival the country.
Others are okay to say that Geng Xiang was originally Xu Jie's sworn friend, and he is also a world-famous Hongru, so he can't help others not believe him when he speaks. The Zhang family embezzled salt profits, which was also something that Tang Yi had known for a long time.
Now that various situations are summarized, the context is becoming clearer and clearer, the Zhang family and the Liao King have new hatreds and old hatreds, Zhang Juzheng took advantage of the time when the imperial court rectified the clan, and tried to force the Liao King to rebel, and then announced his personal vendetta.
Gao Gong had nothing to say, Zhao Zhenji shook his clothes and sleeves, and he was going to go out in person to eradicate the traitors for the court, Chen Yiqin sighed and had no idea......
Almost everyone decided that Zhang Ju was in a catastrophe.
Tang Yi was the only one, he looked at this book, and then flipped through that one, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It's such a coincidence, it doesn't take a little brain!
"Yuanfu, although Zhang Juzheng is a cadre, you can't shield him anymore, you must be severely punished!" Zhao Zhenji once again forced Tang Yi to express his position.
"Dazhou Gong, you wait a minute, two hours, I'll give you an answer."
Tang Yi picked up all the notes and hurriedly returned to the first assistant duty room, and he took out the secret letter sent by Hong Chaoxuan, and put them all together, the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became.
"Go and call Lu Shilang over."
In less than half an hour, Lu Guangzu hurried over, he has now been promoted from the prefect of Suzhou to the servant of the ministry, there is no way, the ministry is in charge of personnel, Gao Gong and Yang Bo are two strong figures, Tang Yi has to install people to maintain influence.
"What's the relationship between these people, do you know?"
Lu Guangzu took a look, he had been in the ministry for a long time, and the resumes of officials of the imperial court were all in his stomach, Hong Chaoxuan, Dong Wenhuan, He Kuan, Pang Shangpeng, Geng Xiangxiang...... These five seemingly unrelated characters, Lu Guangzu looked at them for a while, but his eyes lit up.
"Qi Yu Yuanfu, this He Kuan is Hong Chaoxuan's brother-in-law."
"How's the relationship?"
"Very intimate."
"What about the others?"
"Pang Shangpeng is a disciple of Xu Jie, and it is said that he introduced Hong Chaoxuan to the Xu Party, and the two of them are old friends. Is Dong Wenhuan this person? He has no direct relationship with Hong Chaoxuan, but he has an enemy, named Liu Cunde, this person and Hong Chaoxuan are fellow villagers, and the Hong and Liu families had a conflict because of the opening of a gambling house, and they died. Liu Cunde served as a political envoy in Guangdong, and when he was in office, he handled a case, he was Dong Wenyu's brother, and he was sent to Liaodong and died more than ten years ago. ”
Lu Guangzu was silent for a while before he said: "Geng Xiang doesn't have much friendship with them, but more than two years ago, Geng Xiang took the lead in setting up a Chongzheng Academy, which is very large, with more than a dozen big families contributing, and it seems that the Hong family is the one who gets the most money." But Geng Xiang, as a famous Confucian, framed Zhang Ge Lao for Hong Chaoxuan just because of a little money, which is a bit unreasonable. ”
is worthy of the "three eyes" of officialdom, Lu Guangzu analyzed the relationship between these people clearly and clearly in a few words.
Sure enough, they have an extraordinary connection!
"There are a lot of things that don't make sense, such as these things, the difference between the time before and after is only three days, as if they have made an appointment. In addition, Zhang Juzheng has been in the southeast these days, clearing the acres of fields, offending many people, and there is an endless stream of impeachment of him. But why did these people attack Zhang Juzheng and not mention the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu, is it a little strange? ”
Lu Guangzu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yuanfu, it's not strange at all, the Hong family, the Dong family, and the He family are all big families in the southeast, as for the Geng family, as far as the lower officials know, his family and the Jiangling Zhang family have also competed for business, only Pang Shangpeng is not a big family, and he is also actively promoting the Qingzhang Tianmu, but the lower officials think that it is difficult to support alone, and he is most likely forced to do so." ”
It's clear, it's finally clear!
Tang Yi finally woke up, this was not initiated by Zhang Juzheng at all, on the contrary, it was those big households who were damaged by the interests of Qingzhang Tianmu, using the clan, or even themselves, to slap Zhang Juzheng with a stick! (To be continued.) )
